My MTD RH115B ride-on mower developed a problem last year where the drive belts for the blade and wheels repeatedly came off.
I had it serviced twice last summer by a local plant-hire company, the second time specifically to address this issue. However last weekend I used it for the first time this year and the drive belt for the wheels came off three times in half an hour. The last time the belt for the rear wheels - under the seat - went under the belt wheel and I cannot get it back on without removing the belt wheel. It has what looks like a nut on the top, but turing it just turns the wheel. How do I get the wheel off to replace the belt and why would the belts keep coming off?

It seems involved. You have to take off a lot of parts. They recommend putting them in the order you took them off in order to get them back on correctly.
Thanks for that. Looks like I'd got as far as step 5 before I gave up. When I try to loosen the nut ( as described ) the 'pulley' just turns with the nut. Don't know how to fix the pulley in order to turn the nut.
